Description

The 300- metre long beach of Agia Thekla is a beautiful coastal stretch that is located within the SPA (special protected area) of the Natura 2000 network. As a sandy, natural beach, it has a rocky bottom covered in fine, golden sands, and its crystal-clear seawaters are relatively calm. Lifeguards with lifesaving equipment and first aid services are stationed at the beach in April, May, September and October, from 09:00- 17:00, and in June, July and August, from 10:00- 18:00. The beach offers a special wheelchair at the lifeguard tower to help disabled persons enter the sea with assistance from the lifeguards. 

A pedestrian path takes you on a leisurely stroll from the beach either to the picturesque fishing harbour of Potamos tou Liopetriou in one direction, or the beach of Vathia Gonia in the other. Access is easy by foot, bike or car, and there are car-parking facilities. 

Agia Thekla is an excellent location for weddings!

Did you know? The beach is named after the saint Agia Thekla, to whom the nearby carved temple and the church are dedicated.
